Diagnosed Type 2 one year ago and prescribed 500mg Metformin Modified Release. Due to cut backs got letter from Drs surgery saying changing my prescription from 500mg modified release to 500mg Immediate release. I am worried as NICE guidelines and BNF both list recommended dosage of Metformin Immediate release for type 2 diabetes as 500mg 3 times daily with meals. Im worried that when I start new medication regime I will only be helped by medication for one meal per day. Any thoughts please?
